Issuing a statement, SLT said “Although it was reported by a news
website recently that it was possible for those who are aware of the
passwords of the Sri Lanka Telecom terminal line were able to change the
results of the election, Group Chief Executive Officer of Sri Lanka
Telecom totally rejected such accusations and declared his position to
the Elections Commissioner regarding this issue on 07-01-2015.

In response to this, the Elections Commissioner clearly stated that
the falseness of this accusation was already evident. Further, the
Commissioner said that he decided to assign the responsibility of
providing telecommunication networks for the purpose of the election to
SLT considering the trustworthiness and the reliability of the company.
The commissioner also condemned the false accusation made by the said
website.”
